Practice?!?!? Are we talking about practice?!??!

There are two trains of thought when it comes to kickball practice?

#1 - Kickball practice is ridiculous and over-rated.

#2- Kickball practice is absolutely necessary & required if you want to win.

Its really up to each individual team's level of competitiveness that leads them to want to practice or not. As a kickball enthusiast, I always keep my ears open and find out who is practicing. So far this season its a short list.

Los Totally Awesomes & Los Totally Awesomes too have been practicing for months now. I hear they might even be running two-a-days during the weekend, well maybe that's a slight exaggeration. Either way, Club LTA is looking to win some games this season, if not all of them.

The Balls & Dolls have also been practicing religiously for weeks now. Coach Oscar Esparza has apparently been running some sort of kickball boot camp over the weekend, trying to get his players looking sharp for the beginning of the season. However we wont know if the practice is working until Week 2, seeing as the Bs & Ds have a Week 1 bye.

1 More Shot is another team that has been taking advantage of the off-season. With a roster full of new players sometimes it helps to get players familiar with the rules and kickball motions. The only other team I know that has recently practiced is the Drunken Monkeyz. They ran a quick practice on Sunday to knock some of the kickball dust off.

I'm very anxious to see how these teams do. Does practice make a difference? We will soon find out.
